Be nol hasty to believe Ijing reports to the disparagement of any one. In yonr apparel be modest, and endeavor to accommodate nature rather that purchase admiration.Associate yourself only with men of good quality, if yoa esteem your reputation, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. Let yoar conversation be without malice or envy, for it is a sign of a tractable ar.d commendable spirit; and in cases of passion, admit reason to govern. Use not base and frivolous things again!t grown and learned men j nor very difficult qaee tions and subjects among the ignorant nor things bard to be believed. Soeak'not of doleful things in the time of mirth, nor at the table ; nor of melancholy thing as deaths or woonda; and if others mention them, change, if yon can, the discourse. V Breathe not a jest when none take pleasure in mirth. Laagh nor at all without occasion. Derive no man's misfortune, though-there teem to be some cause. ' Speak not "ipjerioaa words, either in jest or ia earnest. Scoff at ao one, though yoa may get occasion. ' . .. . " Ba aok forward, bat friendly and coarteoae the first to salute, sear and answer aod be not pansiva wheaJl is lima to converse. Keep to the fashion of your equals such as are civil and orderly with, respect to time and place. Ooiot thither when yon know not whether jou shall be welcome or not. . Be prebend not the imperfectioes of others, for that belongs to parents, masters and superiors. ..; Speak not in an unknown tongue in company. but in yasir.pwa .language and that those of quality do, and not as the aJgar.

Among other instances of hiselocu tionary powers, he cites the inimitable manner in which be read Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner :" I have listened to Macready. toEdnnad Keen, to Rachel, to Jenny Li od, to Fanny Kemble to Webster, Clay. Everett, Harrison Gray Otis to Ur. Uhanning. Henry Ward Beecber, Weudell f hillips, Father Tnylor, Ralph Waldo Emerson ta Vic-tor Hugo, Coquerel, Lardaire ; but none of them affected me-: as I was. affected by tbia reading. I forgot the place where was, the mo-tiro ofay coming, the reader himself. 'I knew the poem almost by heart, jet I seemed never to have heard it before. I was by the side of the doomed mariner. I was tbe wedding guest, lis-toniDg to his story, held by bis glittering eye. I was with him in the storm, among the ice. beneath the hot and romper Bky. Booih became so absorbed in hia reading, ao identified wilh the prem. that his tone ai d manner were saturated with a feeling of reality, lie actually thought himself the marinr -ao I am persuaded while he was reading. As the poem proceeded, and we plunged deeper into its mystic horrors, tbe actual world receded in'o a dim, indefinable distance. The magnetism ol this marvellous inter preier had caught up hiniself. and me with bim. into Dreamland, from which w gently descended at the eud of Part VI., and ' the spell was snapt.".

In the tiogrphy of ft .bert Burns; by J. il Weern the fjltdaing account of the poets' roortship : '0f all ihe heroines of Robert JBieereorig8, the most celebrated is Jean Armour, daughter of a mazier mason of Mtuchlina. The poet perfectly described her as . " A dancin' sweat, youag baadsomo quean of gulls. lets heart." There whs a race at Mauchline towards the end of A pril, and when the dance com mejcedi in the evening, the lads were fooud in a large OMjorily. "In such rases tbe custom in Scotlai.d is for the young rnen desiring pa-tners to s'and at the door and invites, tana cerctnonie, the first girl that passes, until, the requisite number ha hea secured : and so it was that Jean Armour was invited in as partner of Rob Hervey. It happened that she and the poet were in the same figure, though unacquainted, when a little excitement and merry confusion was caused by a dog dashing through the window into the room, and running from one to another till.he found his master, who was none other than Burns himself, at whose feet the brute laid quietly down. The poet remarked, half aloud, 44 he wished he could get any of the lessee to love him as well as his dog." and the evening passed off without further reference to the unexpected intrusion. A short time after. Barns had occasion to pass through Mauchline. To save distance, be made from one point to another, "crosa fields," tbroogh the grounds of Mr. Armour, whose daughter Jean was out hanging up clothes to dry, and aprea ding aome on the grass to bleach. The same faithful dog was with him, but ran ahead of his master to the busy maid and laid down upon and muddied her clean sheets. When Burns came up, she n qnested him to call his dog jff, which be did, and with the same breath, paid her a handsome compliment. She blushed, and asked him with a smile, if he had "yet found a lass to love bim aa well a hia favorite dog." "No," said Barns, "aolees it is injou, Jen- J-. ,: ' :s-r- , And from that time forth they were betrothed and finally married. - A DiiScnlt Question Answered. ; Can any one tell why, when Eva was uiano-faetnred from one of Adams ribs, a hired girl wasn't made at the same time to wait ou her V We can. easv I .

A few are known to have been killed and a number wounded, many of which were carried away, Lieut. Murdot-k. late of the United States Nevr among the number, with loss of arm. We had no casualty of conseqoence. The surrender was unconditional. About three hundred men 'were landed amid heavy surf. When the men were hauled ia and commenced cannonading at 10:15 A.

No train goes out without a guard. Ou- Wednesday, Captain Spragoe, of the Ohio Tth, waa on hie way home oa fariongb, with a guard cf four dragoon. When some 15 miles .beyond Sattoa they were fired itito by a party of rebel cavalry, and one of the guard, named John Dsbolt, from FayeUe county, Pa., was killed. Another, Htnry Brooks, was wounded. The attacking party was la too strong force to be resisted, and Captain Spragce, with two others, were captured. One mie-esce pad and brought tbo inteiligeoce. The body of the wounded man was afterward discovered, e tireiy stripped, aod left like offal, by the wayside. Captain Spragoe commanded Company E of tbe ?th, aad it well known throughout Northern Ohio. The cavalry company who attacked and took prisoner Captain Sprague are said "to belong to Ex Governor Wise's command, and the fact tbat they have committed depredations with o a short distance of our force, and that other parties ar marauding through the woods between Weston and Gauley, indicates that this section of the State is to be the theater of annoying and destructive guerilla war far, ta which ao man's life will be safe. How a Han Feelt when he it 7orLnded and How it Goei to be Shot at. W take the following from a letter writtea by one of the gallant Iowa volunteers, who fought in the battle near Springfield, Mo. I was standing, or rather kneeling, behind a bush, reloading my musket, just before the reb els engaged in Ibis close work retreated, suddenly I felt a sharp pain ia the shoulder, and foil to the ground. Jumping up, one of tbe boys asked me if I was hurt. I replied I thought not, drew op my masket to fire, when be said: "Yes you are abot right through the shoulder." 1 think it was this remark, more than the wound, which caused the field all at once, to commence whirling around me in a very strange manner. I started to leave it, with a half Obbc ball in my shoulder, and oaea or twice fell dowa with dix sioess ; but in a short time recovered sufficiently to be able to walk back to Springfield, nine miles where the ball was taken out. I was very much pleased to find that the wound was not a danger euaona.'. .V- . . ' ' -' ! - - --;-In the battle, every sensation was drowned in excitement.

Henry Ward Beecber, Weudell f hillips, Father Tnylor, Ralph Waldo Emerson ta Vic-tor Hugo, Coquerel, Lardaire ; but none of them affected me-: as I was. affected by tbia reading. I forgot the place where was, the mo-tiro ofay coming, the reader himself. 'I knew the poem almost by heart, jet I seemed never to have heard it before. I was by the side of the doomed mariner.

Booih became so absorbed in hia reading, ao identified wilh the prem. that his tone ai d manner were saturated with a feeling of reality, lie actually thought himself the marinr -ao I am persuaded while he was reading. As the poem proceeded, and we plunged deeper into its mystic horrors, tbe actual world receded in'o a dim, indefinable distance.

In the tiogrphy of ft .bert Burns; by J. il Weern the fjltdaing account of the poets' roortship : '0f all ihe heroines of Robert JBieereorig8, the most celebrated is Jean Armour, daughter of a mazier mason of Mtuchlina. The poet perfectly described her as . " A dancin' sweat, youag baadsomo quean of gulls. lets heart." There whs a race at Mauchline towards the end of A pril, and when the dance com mejcedi in the evening, the lads were fooud in a large OMjorily. "In such rases tbe custom in Scotlai.d is for the young rnen desiring pa-tners to s'and at the door and invites, tana cerctnonie, the first girl that passes, until, the requisite number ha hea secured : and so it was that Jean Armour was invited in as partner of Rob Hervey. It happened that she and the poet were in the same figure, though unacquainted, when a little excitement and merry confusion was caused by a dog dashing through the window into the room, and running from one to another till.he found his master, who was none other than Burns himself, at whose feet the brute laid quietly down. The poet remarked, half aloud, 44 he wished he could get any of the lessee to love him as well as his dog." and the evening passed off without further reference to the unexpected intrusion. A short time after. Barns had occasion to pass through Mauchline. To save distance, be made from one point to another, "crosa fields," tbroogh the grounds of Mr. Armour, whose daughter Jean was out hanging up clothes to dry, and aprea ding aome on the grass to bleach. The same faithful dog was with him, but ran ahead of his master to the busy maid and laid down upon and muddied her clean sheets. When Burns came up, she n qnested him to call his dog jff, which be did, and with the same breath, paid her a handsome compliment. She blushed, and asked him with a smile, if he had "yet found a lass to love bim aa well a hia favorite dog."

The Houston Telegraph, of the lTtb inst from which we take the translation, remarks editorially t From' the Matamoras Noticicioso of the 2d inst., just received, we take the following extract from a Journal published at the city of Mexico.

No train goes out without a guard. Ou- Wednesday, Captain Spragoe, of the Ohio Tth, waa on hie way home oa fariongb, with a guard cf four dragoon. When some 15 miles .beyond Sattoa they were fired itito by a party of rebel cavalry, and one of the guard, named John Dsbolt, from FayeUe county, Pa., was killed. Another, Htnry Brooks, was wounded. The attacking party was la too strong force to be resisted, and Captain Spragce, with two others, were captured. One mie-esce pad and brought tbo inteiligeoce. The body of the wounded man was afterward discovered, e tireiy stripped, aod left like offal, by the wayside. Captain Spragoe commanded Company E of tbe ?th, aad it well known throughout Northern Ohio. The cavalry company who attacked and took prisoner Captain Sprague are said "to belong to Ex Governor Wise's command, and the fact tbat they have committed depredations with o a short distance of our force, and that other parties ar marauding through the woods between Weston and Gauley, indicates that this section of the State is to be the theater of annoying and destructive guerilla war far, ta which ao man's life will be safe. How a Han Feelt when he it 7orLnded and How it Goei to be Shot at. W take the following from a letter writtea by one of the gallant Iowa volunteers, who fought in the battle near Springfield, Mo. I was standing, or rather kneeling, behind a bush, reloading my musket, just before the reb els engaged in Ibis close work retreated, suddenly I felt a sharp pain ia the shoulder, and foil to the ground. Jumping up, one of tbe boys asked me if I was hurt. I replied I thought not, drew op my masket to fire, when be said: "Yes you are abot right through the shoulder." 1 think it was this remark, more than the wound, which caused the field all at once, to commence whirling around me in a very strange manner. I started to leave it, with a half Obbc ball in my shoulder, and oaea or twice fell dowa with dix sioess ; but in a short time recovered sufficiently to be able to walk back to Springfield, nine miles where the ball was taken out. I was very much pleased to find that the wound was not a danger euaona.'. .V- . . ' ' -' ! - - --;-In the battle, every sensation was drowned in excitement.
